The Best Halloween Party Ever.

Halloween party preparations started early in the day for us because we take Halloween very seriously. My bangs friend and I got a little crazy in the kitchen and even cut into my 8 lb egg to get us started in the baking extravaganza.

It deserves its own close-up. She topped the dark chocolate with m&ms, candy corn, peanuts, butterfingers and reese’s.

I finally made those incredible Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars that I have been talking obsessively about the last 86 hours. I had a huge accomplishment yesterday. Billy told me that these were the BEST DESSERT I have ever made. This is huge. Billy isn’t much of a dessert person (especially the desserts I make because I tend to make things that are way too packed with sugar and 5 trillion ingredients) but he loved these. Finally. This is all I need in life.

Right when we got to the party our little lobster fell into a deep sleep.

We started off with sandwiches, pumpkin chili, chips and guac and mummy hotdogs.

They had a bobbing for apples competition and below is the winner… 1.9 seconds. I refused to try it because I knew I would end up crying in front of everyone if I didn’t win, I am just a little competitive.

All of the girls.

Brooke got way too hot in her lobster costume and she was so sad that we had to take it off of her especially because her bff was still in her costume. Brooke was hoping that Brooklyn would hold hands with her.

The costume contest prize went to the kid on the left. He dressed up and acted exactly like the kid on the right. I always wonder what someone would dress up like if they wanted to be me for Halloween and I think it would involve not washing your hair for 8 days, a lot of purple, at least 5 stains on your shirt and pants and 3 missing toenails.

LOL! That looks like a ton of fun! I’m so happy Billy approved and loved your dessert! YESS! Success in life! That just means you’ll always have to have it stocked!

Working on a college campus, I see ore um…creative…costumes then actual good ones. I think my personal all time favorite will be the sexy watermelon (if you need a good laugh google sexy watermelon halloween costume).

If someone were to dress up like me, they would wear pancakes on their clothes (I’m messy) and hold a gas station coffee…everything else is irrelevant. ;)

Those desserts look amazing! You never fail to leave me feeling hungry after reading your blog even though I just woke up. Halloween is seriously the most fun holiday ever! I wore an American flag as a dress last night haha

Omg that candy bark looks amazing!! And Brooke looked fantastic in her costume, even if she had to take it off, I always had the opposite problem growing up: I had to put a coat over my costume and would throw a fit!

A few years agp, someone made his own Sriracha sauce/Red Rooster sauce costume. That was pretty awesome and original at the time (but now a lot of people do that one).
Cute babies! Love their costumes!

I personally love the year I dressed up as Rosie the Riveter. Either that or the gypsy year! I don’t think I could possibly pick the best dessert, but if it were up to my husband he would say my chocolate chip cookies!

My favorite costumes I have ever seen: it’s tough to pick just one, I’ll tell you my top three. In high school, at our marching band Halloween party, four of the trumpet players dressed up as our four instructors. It was hilarious and so spot-on– one of the guys didn’t even need a wig to look like our female band director, they already had almost the same hairstyle. Another favorite was someone dressed up as a nightstand– they had a box on their torso with drawers painted on, a lampshade on their head, and a book and a glass of water glued to the top of the box. Then, my final favorite Halloween costume was a few years ago at college, a very large group of Frat guys (I would say at least 20 of them) all dressed up as tribal warriors. They traveled in a group the whole time, carrying spears and wearing loincloths. They stayed in character the whole time and just yelled as they ran up and down the main street. They actually kind of scared me once that night– as my friends and I were leaving the student center, they had jumped up on top of the planters and were grunting and pointing their spears at anyone who passed by. It was so awesome. I love group costumes!!

I think the best dessert I make is red velvet cheesecake brownies. Sooooo good! If someone were to dress like me they’d wear running shorts or yoga pants, carrying a large bottle of ice water and take a gazillion pics of ridiculous things.

If someone were to dress up as me, they’d better grab some compression socks, spandex, and the coziest hoodie they can find. Oh. And there had better be some hot pink and bright yellow thrown in!!
Best dessert I ever made — the molasses cookies I made yesterday!! Ohmygoodness — the extra sugar I rolled them in caramelized in the oven. Perfect amount of chewy and crunchy. I’m in LOVE!!!
How is your back feeling today, Janae?? I hope it’s on the mend!! :)

Yesssss! Those bars look amazing – probably even more so because my apple addiction is through the roof right now.

If someone were to dress up as me, they’d probably be going as a watermelon holding a cappuccino. In season or not, I can’t seem to get enough watermelon in me, and my Starbucks addiction is ridiculous enough that more often than not, I’m walking around smelling like coffee…

Will you share the caramel apple cheesecake recipe!? My best dessert is probably an upside down banana chocolate chip cake. The upside down part is banana slices covered in brown sugar and butter, so it carmelizes and looks beautiful. The cake part is banana cake with choc chips and it is AMAZING.

Best Halloween costume… I have to say I really enjoyed dressing up as Lady Gaga 2 years ago. I made my own styrofoam phone which I glued to a barrette and put in my Gaga blonde wig (like from the Telephone video with Beyonce). So fun…
